A Scale Computing™ edge security device (ESD) is the device at each site that connects the site to SC//AcuVigil™. It's the site's firewall and gateway: every device on the site's network connects through it, and it runs the SC//AcuVigil applications installed for that site.
ESD models
| Model | Type | Network ports | Built-in wireless | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| XG1v1 | Hardware | WAN, OPT, and four LAN ports | Wi-Fi and LTE cellular | |
| SG2v1 | Hardware | Two WAN-capable ports and four LAN ports | None | Sensor bus for door and temperature sensors |
| SG1v1 | Hardware | WAN, AUX, and LAN | None | |
| VG | Virtual machine | Virtual network interfaces | None | Runs on SC//Reliant or SC//HyperCore |
| MG3 | Hardware | WAN, AUX, and LAN | None | Earlier generation. Revisions: MG3, MG3v3, and MG3v4 |
Not every application runs on every model. Each application's page lists the models it supports, and the category pages under SC//AcuVigil applications compare them.
Find out which ESD a site has
Each site's tile on the Locations page shows the ESD type and the last six characters of its serial number, for example SG 031177. The first digits identify the model:
| Tile shows | Model |
|---|---|
MG 002… to MG 005… |
MG3 |
MG 006… to MG 008… |
MG3v3 |
MG 009… to MG 00b… |
MG3v4 |
SG 010… or SG 011… |
SG1v1 |
SG 03… |
SG2v1 |
XG 020… or XG 021… |
XG1v1 |
VGM 04… |
VG (VGMv1) |
VGL 05… |
VG (VGLv1) |
The site's Location info page shows the full serial number.
Status lights
Each hardware ESD reports its state with LEDs. The MG3, SG1v1, and SG2v1 share the same core lights (PWR, CLOUD, SEC, and DIAG), and the XG1v1 uses three multicolor lights instead. For what each light means, see the page for your model.
